title: [Tungiasis. A clinical case].
abstract: Tungiasis is a cutaneous infestation by the female sand flea, Tunga penetrans. Because of the increase in international travel, the disease is reported in Europe, in spite of it being formerly restricted to the equatorial zones. This report describes a case of tungiasis and discusses clinical features, diagnosis and treatment.
